Lack of Sleep by A Texas Artist Laurie Pace

Too Sleepy

Last night was void of sleep.

There were no 'worries' or squirrels... I simply went to bed late after the Cowboy game and woke up by 3:30 this morning. 

I prayed for friends and family; I sang praise songs in my brain; I did deep breathing exercises.   Then it was 4:30.

I got up then and took one Tylenol and drank some water.  Still no worries but a little tired. I knew for sure I would be back to sleep.

But I did not.

The clock showed 5:45 when I finally gave up and flipped open my ipad and started watching Heartland via Netflix.

Showered at 7 and here I am at 9 so sleepy as I type, I know I will be napping shortly.   I am not always clear about God's plans for me...but obviously I was to be awake.

I didn't solve any problems because I was not tangled or captured by any. Usually it is conflict in my brain keeping me awake.

We all have nights like this, so this day I will continue to put in His hands without expectations and know He will show me the way.
